He received an invitation to rookie minicamp with the Titans, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
"Former Tennessee running back Star Thomas has been invited to rookie minicamp with the Titans," Zenitz announced.
Thomas played for the Vols in 2025, his only season at Tennessee. He transferred from Duke, New Mexico State and Coffeyville Community College.
Thomas appeared in 13 games at Tennessee and totaled 596 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 104 attempts. He also recorded 11 receptions for 116 yards and two touchdowns.
